This article classifies land uses and activities into use categories on the basis of common functional, product, or physical characteristics. The use categories provide a systematic basis for assignment of present and future uses to zones. Certain use categories are broken down into subgroups if further distinction is needed. The decision to permit, permit with provisions, or allow by special exception a particular use or use category in the various zones is based on the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan and the stated purposes of the base zones.
